Mia halted in her tracks, turning her head to face the store employee. “Bring me the most expensive


    jewelry you have.”


    The employee grinned. “Sure. Here’s ourtest limited edition collection. Take a look at them. We only


    have a set of them in Bern City.


    “Alright.” Mia cast Shelly a backward nce. “I don’t think you’re wearing any decent jewelry. Would


    you like me to ask them to lend you a set of jewelry?”


    Such a degrading attitude angered Shelly. “I am Shelly Barrett, Mia Bowen, Who needs you to lend me


    pieces of jewelry? I have everything I want!”


    “Oh really? I remember that your cards were frozen, though. You’re just leeching off your family. Your


    living allowance is only this much. Can you afford these pieces of jewelry?” Mia hit a sore spot.

    The past three years were enough for her to tell what kind of person Shelly was and what Shelly cared


    about the most.


    As Mia had expected, Shelly’s features distorted in fury as soon as she said that.


    It was a refreshing sight to behold.


    Putting on a haughty expression, Mia left the fitting room.


    Shelly had never suffered such humiliation before.


    She had always been the person to poke fun at Mia for being penniless, but their positions switched


    this


    time.


    It was infuriating to Shelly.


    Mia’s words rang in Shelly’s head and she had an idea. She reached out to Timothy, but no one picked


    up the call.


    She texted, ‘Timothy, Luna likes Vior’stest jewelry collection better. There’s only a set of it in Bern


    City, but the employee here says that they’re not for sale.‘


    She clicked the send button, letting off some steam.


    As long as she couldn’t own something. Mia could never own it either.


    On the other hand, Mia was in a good mood when she left the fitting room.


    ude was the first one to stand. “Mia, you’re gorgeous in this dress. You look like a princess.”


    Liam pped his hands. “Mia’s pretty and she’s our princess. She looks good in everything.”


    Eva was grinning ear–to–ear. “That’s right. Mia looks good in everything. But Mia, why didn’t you


    choose that champagne dress? Your back is pretty. You can put everyone in a trance in that gown.”


    The smile on Mia’s face stiffened because that champagne dress was tight–fitting. It would reveal her


    bulging belly.


    “I gained a few poundstely while prepping for exams. My waist grew thicker. I would look fat in that


    dress, so I chose this.” She made up an excuse.


    ude cocked a brow. “Wear anything you like. No one will have the nerve to say that.”


    Liam nodded. “Yeah. You’re not fat at all. You’re too skinny.”


    Mia couldn’t fathom the way they thought at all. She simply assumed that they let their mouth run


    without thinking.


    After choosing a gown, Mia headed for a skin glow–up before proceeding with makeup and hairstyling.


    While she was waiting for the jewelry, the owner came up to her all nervous. “I’m so sorry, but someone


    has just bought thetest jewelry collection.”
